Visual Hull
v3.2.1 Stable Release

Shipbuilding CAD
Automation

From Create Components to Output Documentation.
The complete integration platform for Rhino 3D.

Built for Production

Designed By Shipbuilders

Visual Hull Pro was built inside ShipDesignGroup S.r.L — a superyacht structural engineering firm based in Italy. After years of internal use designing luxury vessel hulls for world-class shipyards, we're making our toolchain available to the industry.

This isn't theoretical software. Every feature was forged in real production environments, tested against deadlines, and refined through thousands of hours of actual hull design work.

Real-world validated
Domain expertise
Not vaporware

"We use Visual Hull Pro on every project. It's the backbone of our engineering workflow — from initial hull modeling to final CNC output."

From Rhino to Production, Powered End-to-End

Design in Rhinoceros, sync to the web app database, and generate every deliverable automatically. No broken handoffs, no manual rework, just a single continuous pipeline.

01
Create
Auto Components & Stiffeners
Generate parts and stiffeners directly in Rhinoceros with a single command. Geometry and metadata stay locked together from the first click.

02
Sync
Commit to the Database
Push every part into a centralized SQL database — the communication channel shared between Rhino and our web app.
03
Export
Instant Documentation
Export BOMs, weights & COG, stiffener lists, and nesting right from the web app — all driven by live data in the 3d model.
04
Produce
Manufacturing Outputs
Generate CNC nesting, A15 assembly drawings, A7 bending documentation (inverse curves), and A9 for twisted profiles with bending.
05
Draft
Automated Sheets & Annotations
Create drafting layouts with automated annotations, symbols, and identifiers. Everything flows from Rhinoceros to the web app without breaking context.
